I downloaded the centipede distribution. But there is only a bin distribution, no src. But since there's no Javadoc coming with the distribution and the included ant-sax2.jar is kind of out of date with respect to the CVS it's hard to see how I should actually use the PropertyHelper feature. I'd like to use the embed features with Ant 1.5.1. Should I build the current embed proposal from CVS and use that jar or what do you recommend? > > One more question: The properties seem to have a namespace > like syntax. > > Can I plug in my own PropertyHelper and register it with > one namespace or is > > the same PropertyHelper used for all properties? > > Yup can plug in yours, actually as many as you like.

So I suppose I'll have to do that with a separate task for each project, right? -- knut
